While creating a SparkSession, as there is a property to connect to Cassandra called
.config("spark.cassandra.connection.host", "ip-address")
that can be directly added while creating a SparkSession, can we add the MySQL details similar to this so that we can avoid passing them in every Spark function?
No, there is no such option when connecting to MySQL. Cassandra has its own spark-cassandra-connector while for MySQL it uses JDBC which requires the connection params to be passed as Java Properties.
They differ in configuration options and in how they works.

I am able to connect to hive using hive.metastore.uris in Sparksession. What I want is to connect to a particular database of hive with this connection so that I don't need to add database name to each table names in queries. Is there any way to achieve this ?
Expecting code something like
SparkSession sparkSession = SparkSession.config("hive.metastore.uris", "thrift://dhdhdkkd136.india.sghjd.com:9083/hive_database")
You can use the catalog API accessible from the SparkSession.
https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.sql.catalog.Catalog
You can then call sparkSession.catalog.setCurrentDatabase(<db_name>)
I have created a java application starting spark (local[*]) and exploiting it to read a csv file as a Dataset<Row> and to create a temporary view with createOrReplaceTempView.
At this point I am able to exploit SQL to query the view inside my application.
What I would like to do, for development and debugging purposes, is to execute queries in an interactive way from outside my application.
Any hints?
Thanks in advance
You can use spark's DeveloperApi - HiveThriftServer2.
#DeveloperApi
def startWithContext(sqlContext: SQLContext): Unit = {
val server = new HiveThriftServer2(sqlContext)
Only thing you need to do in your application is to get SQLContext and use it as follows:
HiveThriftServer2.startWithContext(sqlContext)
This will start hive thrift server (by default on port 10000) and you can use sql client - e.g. beeline for accessing and querying your data in temp tables.
Also you will need to set --conf spark.sql.hive.thriftServer.singleSession=true which allows you to see temp tables. By default it's set to false so each connection has it's own session and they dont see others temp tables.
"spark.sql.hive.thriftServer.singleSession" - When set to true, Hive Thrift server is running in a single session
mode. All the JDBC/ODBC connections share the temporary views, function registries, SQL configuration and the current database.
I'm doing some tests on tables I created via HiveContext.sql(). Are there anyways I can connect to underlying HiveMetaStore using org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStoreClient?
I tried to init HiveMetaStoreClient(hiveContext.hiveconf()) but I can't see tables from the HiveMetaStoreClient.
We have processed our data using Spark 1.2.1 with Java and stored in Hive tables. We want to access this data as RDDs from an web browser.
I read documentation and I understood the steps to do the task.
I am unable to find the way to interact with Spark SQL RDDs via thrift server. Examples I found have belw line in the code and I am not find the class for this in Spark 1.2.1 java API docs.
HiveThriftServer2.startWithContext
In github i saw scala examples using
import org.apache.spark.sql.hive.thriftserver , but I dont see this in Java API docs. Not sure if I am missing something.
Did anybody had luck with accessing Spark SQL RDDs from a browser via thrift? Can you post the code snippet. We are using Java.
I've got most of this working. Lets dissect each part of it: (References at bottom of post)
HiveThriftServer2.startWithContext is defined in Scala. I was never able to access it from Java or from Python using Py4j, and am no JVM expert, but I ended up switching to Scala. This may have something to do with the annotation #DeveloperApi . This is how I imported it Scala in Spark 1.6.1:
import org.apache.spark.sql.hive.thriftserver.HiveThriftServer2
For anyone reading this and not using Hive, a Spark SQL context won't do, and you need a hive context. However, the HiveContext constructor requires a Java spark context, not a scala one.
import org.apache.spark.api.java.JavaSparkContext
import org.apache.spark.sql.hive.HiveContext
var hiveContext = new HiveContext(JavaSparkContext.toSparkContext(sc))
Now start the thrift server
HiveThriftServer2.startWithContext(hiveContext)
// Yay
Next, we need to make our RDDs available as SQL tables. First, we have to convert them into Spark SQL DataFrames:
val someDF = hiveContext.createDataFrame(someRDD)
Then, we need to turn them into Spark SQL tables. You do this by persisting them to Hive, or making the RDD available as a temporary table.
Persist to Hive:
// Deprecated since Spark 1.4, to be removed in Spark 2.0:
someDF.saveAsTable("someTable")
// Up-to-date at time of writing
someDF.write().saveAsTable("someTable")
Or, use a temporary table:
// Use the Data Frame as a Temporary Table
// Introduced in Spark 1.3.0
someDF.registerTempTable("someTable")
Note - temporary tables are isolated to an SQL session.
Spark's hive thrift server is multi-session by default
in version 1.6 (one session per connection). Therefore,
for clients to access temporary tables you've registered,
you'll need to set the option spark.sql.hive.thriftServer.singleSession to true
You can test this by querying the tables in beeline, a command line utility for interacting with the hive thrift server. It ships with Spark.
Finally, you need a way of accessing the hive thrift server from the browser. Thanks to its awesome developers, it has an HTTP mode, so if you want to build a web app, you can use the thrift protocol over AJAX requests from the browser. A simpler strategy might be to create an IPython notebook, and use pyhive to connect to the thrift server.

Thrift is JDBC/ODBC server.
You can connect to it via JDBC/ODBC connections and access content through the HiveDriver.
You can not get RDDs back from it, because HiveContext is not available.
What you refered to is an experimental feature not available for Java.
As a workaround, you could re-parse the results and create your structures for your client.
For example:
private static String driverName = "org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver";
private static String hiveConnectionString = "jdbc:hive2://YourHiveServer:Port";
private static String tableName = "SOME_TABLE";
Class c = Class.forName(driverName);
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(hiveConnectionString, "user", "pwd");
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
String sql = "select * from "+tableName;
ResultSet res = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
parseResultsToObjects(res);
I just installed presto and when I use the presto-cli to query hive data, I get the following error:
$ ./presto --server node6:8080 --catalog hive --schema default
presto:default> show tables;
Query 20131113_150006_00002_u8uyp failed: Table hive.information_schema.tables does not exist
The config.properties is:
coordinator=true
datasources=jmx,hive
http-server.http.port=8080
presto-metastore.db.type=h2
presto-metastore.db.filename=/root/h2
task.max-memory=1GB
discovery-server.enabled=true
discovery.uri=`http://node6:8080`
And the hive.properties is:
connector.name=hive-cdh4
hive.metastore.uri=thrift://node6:9083
The hadoop distribution I used is CDH 4.4. I believe it's properly installed and hive can process queries successfully on its own.
Can anyone help me work it out? Any ideas will be appreciated.
As recommended by the Getting Started, I created a controller (jmx only) and a separate worker (jmx,hive), each on separate machines.
What finally solved this for me was to specify the worker's hostname and http-server.http.port as the --server argument to presto. When specifying the controller, it didn't work.
This all makes sense, but I am still wondering what will happen when I have two Presto-Hive workers...
Add more line to etc/catalog/hive.properties
"hive.config.resources=/etc/hadoop/conf/core-site.xml,/etc/hadoop/conf/hdfs-site.xml"
ofcourse check values of path before do it.
presto-metastore.db.filename= <- is this the value for Hive Warehouse
Directory ?
=> this presto's metastore,not hive.
I just figured out what was wrong in my case:
you also have to add following line to $HIVE_HOME/conf/hive-env.sh for informing hive to open thrift port(same as mentioned under hive.metastore.uris property in hive-site.xml file). This port is used by hive client to connect to Metastore through RPC.
export METASTORE_PORT=9084
in the hive-env.sh file in the conf folder.
This should sync your hive with presto.
